8	[[folder:Raus Lorthander and Anna]]
9	----
10	%%* BattleCouple
11	%%* DragonRider
12	* EyepatchOfPower:
13	-->'''Ren:''' You can't spell "Paladin" without one eye.
14	* HeroesPreferSwords: Raus has multiple Longswords. You tell me if he prefers swords or not.
15	%%* HeroicRematch: Desperately wants one with Arcus.
16	* InterspeciesRomance: Raus is a Human and Anna is a Dragon.
17	* MagicKnight: Being a Paladin, he has access to a small repertoire of spells, this increases by a buttload when he fuses with Anna.
18	%%* MayflyDecemberRomance: I repeat. Raus is a Human and Anna is a Dragon.
19	%%* MightyGlacier: Easily the slowest member of the party.
20	* MyGreatestFailure: In his backstory. When infiltrating an Obsidian Army base with two gold dragons, Kernst found them and killed one of the dragons with a single stab. Raus fled with Anna and he still has yet to forgive himself for it.
21	%%* ThePaladin
22	* ResignedToTheCall: As Raus has revealed, he never wanted to be TheHero. However, he has long since come to terms with being chosen for the job and has decided that if he's going to do it, he's going to do it right.
23	* ShipperOnDeck: Anna acts as one for the unlikely couple of Setheralxis and Vincent.
24	* TallDarkAndHandsome: Standing at 6'4" with black hair and a Charisma of 26, Raus is definitely fit for this trope.
25	%%* NoMoreHoldingBackSpeech: Gave one to Orpheus/Olivia, namely about what it's like being a Paladin.
26	[[/folder]]

28	[[folder:Vincent Dershire and Kyrie]]
29	----
30	* BreathWeapon: His levels in Dragon Disciple grant him a sixty foot line of fire. Nifty!
31	* TheCaptain: Self appointed. But he ''is'' the only one who knows how to sail The Dragon Chaser.
32	%%* CoolSword: A Rapier.
33	* DanceBattler: Whenever he initiates his bardic performance, he does so by dancing.
34	%%* DeadpanSnarker: He's slid into this, especially when the party starts getting silly.
35	* FamousAncestor: Distantly related to Richter, one of the 5 Dragoons of Legend.
36	* FriendlessBackground: Revealed that he had this at the start of the story. Sure he could play a mean lute and get by as a barfly, but he never had any ''true'' friends.
37	* GentlemanAndAScholar: He's intellegent, kind, and can more or less efficiently lead the party. Or at the least, sail the ship the party's on.
38	* HalfHumanHybrid: Mom's an elf, dad's a human. In addition, way down the line on dad's side, a dragon got in the mix, and now Vincent's unexpectedly and painfully taking the brunt of his heritage.
39	* TheHeart: Used to be TheHero before Raus came along, but he's happier being the heart of the party and the glue that keeps them together. Bards are sort of natural chicks anyways. Then there's Kyrie, who's a Brass, and therefore highly personable and talkative dragon.
40	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: His main reason for starting the AdventureGuild.
41	* JackOfAllStats: He's a Bard, he's decent at everything. Curiously, he has the highest strength of the entire party.
42	* LightningBruiser: With his strength of 20 and lightly armoured frame, he already is this. Add haste into the mix...
43	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Half-elf. This is to be expected.
44	* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Recently came into possession of a mythril shield. It's pretty handy.
45	%%* MagicMusic: He's a bard, after all.
46	* MisterExposition: He's the bard. He knows ''everything.''
47	* MusclesAreMeaningless: He has a Strength of 20. ''He is stronger than the Barbarian.'' And weighs a delicate 160 lbs.
48	* PowerIncontinence: On and off. Whenever he levels up and a new dragon power decides to rear its head, Vincent will often have no control over it and find it manifesting itself immediately. Such as when he gained his BreathWeapon. Thank goodness he spouted fire over the side of a bridge.
49	%%* QuirkyBard
50	* {{Swashbuckler}}: Rapier? Check. Shield? Check. nice hat? Check.
51	%%* ThemeMusicPowerUp: He's a Bard. ''This is his job.''
52	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He can turn into a (medium) Brass Dragon.
53	%%* WingedHumanoid: Just in time for the final battle.
54	[[/folder]]

56	[[folder:Michael "Mickey" Quinn Jr. and Sny]]
57	----
58	* BadassNormal: For the first several sessions. Mickey is the only member in the party with no natural access to spells, supernatural abilities, or special class abilities aside from SneakAttack, and is just as capable of being a great help to the party. The man managed to get a grappling hook around a dragon's tail in flight, for God's sake!
59	%%* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Now he's a werewolf.
60	* GoodOldFisticuffs: He's a brawler, and prefers fighting with just his fists.
61	%%* HappilyMarried: To Eliza.
62	* FunetikAksent: Whenever he starts speaking "Low Common."
63	* TheLancer: Rogues tend to normally fall into this style anyways, but Mickey fits the role well in being a good foil for TheHero, Raus. Mickey's a rogue, Raus is a paladin. Mickey uses a bow and arrow, Raus uses a sword and board. Mickey's chaotic, Raus is lawful. Mickey's a werewolf, Raus is not, and would normally be inclined to kill werewolves due to their AlwaysChaoticEvil nature.
64	* MadeOfIron: You can easily say that Mickey has taken, more or less, the most damage out of the entire party, yet he always comes out no worse for wear.
65	* SpeaksFluentAnimal:
66	** But only to wolves and wolf-like animals, and only when in Hybrid or Wolf form.
67	** He swears that the party's horses talk to him and torment him. No one believes him.
68	* ThisIsGonnaSuck: The fight with Horizon became this. Since Horizon's armor allowed him to shoot back every first arrow Mickey fired at him. In order for Mickey to even land a single arrow in the boss, he'd literally have to willingly shoot himself before it happened.
69	* TooDumbToLive: Grappling a rope to a dragon's tail and then trying to pull the dragon down. [[SarcasmMode No, really, it's a great idea.]]
70	[[/folder]]
71
72	[[folder:Iria and Trieze]]
73	----
74	* ActionGirl: She's a half-orc, that alone is enough to qualify her. Never mind the fact that she's also a Barbarian. Who rides a ''dragon.''
75	* AmazonianBeauty: If her token is anything to go by, she's actually a pretty attractive Half-Orc Barbarian.
76	%%* BadassFamily: HA HAAA!!
77	%%* TheBerserker: Comes in the job description.
78	* BloodKnight: If a quest has lots of bloodshed in it, she has absolutely no problem with taking it.
79	%%* BlueOni: To Eliza's red, surprisingly. At least, out of combat.
80	%%* TheBigGirl
81	%%* BondCreatures
82	* BuxomBeautyStandard: She has a sizable bust and assumes Orpheus's interest in her stems from her breast size, implying they regularly get her male attention.
83	* ChallengeSeeker: Constantly looking for tougher and tougher opponents. She even wants to fight Trieze one on one.
84	%%* DragonRider: With Trieze
85	%%* EpicBattleBoredom: She was doing this the entire Bandit Clean-up quest.
86	%%* FailureKnight: Trieze to Iria.
87	%%* FriendToAllLivingThings: Trieze, comes with being a Bronze Dragon.
88	* HalfHumanHybrid: Her mom is a human Oracle, her dad is an orc chieftan.
89	* KissingUnderTheInfluence: After the effect of Aerlissa's spell wore off, this was the only reason she continued with Orpheus.
90	* LightningBruiser: She covers the most ground and deals the most melee damage out of everyone in the party.
91	* MadeOfIron: Has the most HP out of the entire party, unsurprisingly.
92	* MyGreatestFailure: Trieze losing the Orb. He had devoted more or less his entire 40-odd years of living to its protection, and it is stolen from him while he still lives. Suffice to say, he's not happy about it.
93	* OnlyOneName: If she has a last name, she's yet to share it. Trieze also. Though one name is the standard for dragons.
94	%%* OurDragonsAreDifferent
95	* RaisedByOrcs: Subverted in that she turned out to be pretty decent.
96	* ShockAndAwe: Trieze breathes electricity.
97	%%* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Also.
98	* ToughLove: Her dad was an Orc Chieftan. The toughest and strongest Orc in the desert. Suffice to say, Daddy had some expectations for her.
99	* TranquilFury: This is more of how she rages. Yes, she snarls and growls. But only as if she's mildly pissed off. Then she calmly cleaves you in twain.
100	* TheUnpronounceable: Dragons have two names. Their "proper" name, which is usually ridiculously long and only used in dealings with other dragons, and their "informal" name, used in dealings with pretty much everything else and is more or less a shortening of their proper name. Trieze's proper name is Triezealkistmesilnin.
101	* TheWorfEffect: Not with Iria, gods forbid Iria get worfed. Trieze is a Bronze Dragon. At the End Of Act One, his unconscious body was thrown out of the burning Mage's Guild tower by the dragon-riding Alyxandierre and Ophelia. It also doesn't help that when the party faced him for the first time he went down in mere moments.
102	[[/folder]]
103
104	[[folder:Aerlissa Mirlouin and Seth]]
105	----
106	%%* AnimeHair: Yes, her hair is that crazy.
107	* CoolBigSis: To Vincent, being roughly 80 years older than him. [[OurElvesAreDifferent Elves sure are weird!]]
108	* DitzyGenius: She's a witch. Proper social skills just don't occur to her. She made her familiar into a naked [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic fox]] and had her run around a crowded inn.
109	%%* {{Familiar}}: A fox.
110	%%* HotWitch: Her Charisma is 18. Enough to qualify.
111	* LightningBruiser: When fused together, Seth and Lissa are the pinnacle of this trope in ''A New Age''. AC of "You can only hit me if you crit". A to hit of "Did you roll a 1?" "No" "Then you hit". And a damage of "Is your opponent a god?" "No" "Then it explodes into tiny chunks when you hit it with your hair".
112	* LongLostRelative: Turns out she's Vincent's half-sister.
113	%%* ThePaladin: Seth. Being a Silver, this is unsurprising.
114	* TheQuietOne: She really doesn't talk all that much.
115	%%* ScarfOfAsskicking
116	* ShockAndAwe: When she's not healing, she's blasting things with lightning.
117	* TheSmartGirl: She's always making magic items for the party and is the central spellcaster of the group.
118	* SquishyWizard: Lowest AC and total HP out of the entire party. Capable of flinging spells that can stop an army. She is this trope played absolutely straight.
119	%%* {{Stripperific}}: Her festival outfit. Now ash due to dragon fire.
120	* TeenGenius: Well, she's 99, but for an elf that's still shy of adulthood. Couple this with her intelligence of 22 and you have this trope.
121	* WellDoneDaughterGirl: She envies her father, a practised Wizard, and ran away from home because she couldn't please him.
122	[[/folder]]
123
124	[[folder:Eillyassa "Eliza" Quinn]]
125	----
126	* AccidentalMisnaming: She has a pretty major problem with pronouncing names right. Half the people she meets she gives simplified and sometimes offensive nicknames for. Especially dragons, hell will freeze over before she fully pronounces a dragon's name.
127	%%* ActionGirl: With bombs!
128	%%* AlchemyIsMagic: It's in the job description.
129	* TheBigDamnKiss: When Mickey loses the necklace that controls his Lycanthropy, this quickly turns into a HeadbuttofLove. In the literal sense of the term.
130	* BigScrewedUpFamily: First her family abandons her, then it's revealed that Balxur was her great-great-grandfather.
131	* BlueBlood: The Milner's are technically aristocrats.
132	%%* BrainyBrunette: Was this before becoming a half-dragon.
133	%%* BreathWeapon:
134	%%** Yes. Because Bombs are most effective when consumed first.
135	%%** Now she has a natural one!
136	%%* TheBusCameBack: She rejoined the party, per orders from the King himself.
137	* EnhanceButton: With her ridiculous perception, she can see the colours on a flag from hundreds of feet away.
138	%%* FieryRedhead: Her head is now red and fiery. Counts.
139	%%* GenkiGirl: Her mere presence is like shouting.
140	* HalfHumanHybrid: After a very painful process that nearly killed her, she is now a red half-dragon.
141	%%* HappilyMarried: To Mickey.
142	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's crazy, bossy, and makes a lot of threats, but she really has the party's best interest at heart.
143	* KnightInSourArmor: She is thoroughly convinced that she is working with a bunch of ''idiots'' and yet does a good job anyways.
144	%%* LargeHam: So. Much.
145	* TheLoad: Feared that she was this, and was the reason for her leaving, despite the opposite being true.
146	%%* MadBomber: BUUUUUUUUURRRN!!! Oddly enough, out of combat she's rather calm.
147	* MeaningfulEcho:
148	-->'''Eliza:''' Mickey... when I said I wanted to go drinking later... this isn't what I meant... [[note]]The first time she said this line was after when a Bugbear nearly killed her with a critical hit, and Mickey was the first one to reach her unconscious body. This was the third session in, and the two characters were not romantically engaged. Roughly 25 sessions later, she undergoes the ritual to turn her into a Half-Dragon and nearly dies from the experience. Mickey is, again, the first to reach her, and by this point the two characters were romantically engaged.[[/note]]
149	* TheNicknamer: She has a name for everyone except Iria and Mickey.
150	* PainfulTransformation: Turning into a half-dragon is ''not pleasant.''
151	* PutOnABus: Left the party to go to Imperium and appeal to the king about the OA.
152	%%* RedOniBlueOni
153	* SecretLegacy: Part of the reason her mother left her with Tathar was explicitly so that she'd never discover this. She did anyway, and now uses it to her advantage.
154	%%* SplashDamage
155	%%* ThrowDownTheBomblet

160	[[folder:Vanessa and Lucien Dershire]]
161	----
162	%%* BadassFamily
163	%%* BattleCouple
164	%%* {{Infodump}}: Vanessa hates giving these.
165	* OldMaster: She's an Elf, and was adventuring for many, ''many'' years before having Vincent and settling down in Desna's Gate. He's a sorcerer, middle aged, and still adventures to this day, and knows plenty of spells that will straight ''fuck you up.''
166	* PassingTheTorch: She gives her old Violin to Vincent, symbolizing her acceptance of him as an Adventurer, and telling him to sing of many tales with it.
167	[[/folder]]
168
169	[[folder:Captain Malthen]]
170	----
171	%%* TheCaptain
172	* AFatherToHisMen: He pokes fun at them every now and again, but he treats his men well and is genuinely saddened when his men die on the job.
173	%%* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
174	[[/folder]]
175
176	[[folder:Dryst The Mad]]
177	----
178	%%* BearHug: HA HAAA!!
179	%%* {{BFS}}: Vandal, his sword. HA HAAA!!
180	%%* BoisterousBruiser: HA HAAA!!
181	* CatchPhrase: HA HAAA!!
182	* FearlessFool: A massive army is gathering? They plan to control all the dragons in the world? His daughter wants to fight a dragon and claim its hoard? ''HA HAAA!!''
183	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: He's around 8 feet tall. Lucia is barely past 5 feet. HA HAAA!!
184	%%* LargeAndInCharge: HA HAAA!!
185	%%* LargeHam: HA HAAA!!
186	%%* TestosteronePoisoning: HA HAAA!!
187	%%* TopHeavyGuy: HA HAAA!!
188	* ATwinkleInTheSky: Tossed Orpheus pretty much into the stratosphere. HA HAAA!!
189	%%* VerbalTic: '''''Take a guess.'''''

192	[[folder:The Five Dragoons Of Legend]]
193	----
194	%%* FamedInStory
195	* InterspeciesRomance: At least one of them was in love with their dragon.
196	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Corineous, who was an elf. This was to be expected.
197	[[/folder]]
198
199	[[folder:The Five Generals of the Obsidian Army/The Obsidian Army]]
200	----
201	* AffablyEvil: Kernst is pretty decent for an assassin, buys the party mead, shares stories, cordially introduces himself, all while having a poisoned crossbow bolt aimed at Mickey's crotch.
202	%%* {{Chessmaster}}: ''Kernst,'' and we haven't even ''seen'' how Arcus is.
203	* DevilInPlainSight: Kernst. He had a freaking crossbow pointed at Mickey's balls for an entire conversation, in a crowded inn and bar, and no one outside of the party called him out on it.
204	%%* DragonRider: The 5 Generals.
205	* EvilTwin: Arcus. No seriously. The other twin is Alex, a cleric of Desna and Mickey's half brother. Technically making Arcus Mickey's half brother also.
206	%%* InTheHood: Kernst.
207	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Alyx. [[RunningGag who is an Elf. This is to be expected.]]
208	* TheUnfought: Kernst. Raus got an all of one good hit on him before disappearing right before the final boss fight.
209	* WouldHitAGirl: Arcus, who channeled his inner [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Sephiroth]] when he killed Ophelia with a single stab.
210	[[/folder]]
211
212	[[folder:Ophelia Telos]]
213	----
214	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Ren made her death so that none of the player characters would be able to bring her back thanks to Arcus' soul eating sword. Also, she died via stabbing. Mechanically, this would just do HP damage and Ophelia could have very well survived it at her level. [[RuleOfDrama Dramatically,]] however, this wouldn't have made for a very poignant scene.
215	* LightIsNotGood: Subverted. Ophelia is a Celestial bloodline sorceress, and was working for the Obsidian Army. But only did so because said army was holding her daughter captive.
216	%%* PietaPlagiarism
217	%%* PlotlineDeath: We get it, she's dead. Cut it out.
218	* PsychoExGirlfriend: Subverted in regards to Orpheus. She still loves him and isn't insane at all, but is with the Obsidian Army for reasons related to her daughter and not so much Orpheus.
219	[[/folder]]
220
221	[[folder:Emma Milner]]
222	----
223	* AlmostDeadGuy: She stayed alive (and dodged a healing spell) just long enough to give Eliza her journal.
224	* GameplayAndStorySegregation: Her death was a little more forced in that she was dying and refused to be healed. Knowing that if she lived through the fire that was burning down her house, she'd just be hunted and killed later anyways. Ren had to drop a flaming beam on Aerlissa and the rest of the party to prevent them from reaching her and thus allowing Emma to [[RuleOfDrama die in her daughter's hands]].
225	* GiveHimANormalLife: The main reason why she left Eliza with Tathar was because she lacked draconic features, and Emma didn't want her daughter to be conscripted into the Obsidian Army.
226	* PosthumousCharacter: She had maybe a total of 5 lines before kicking the bucket. And a lot of her character stems from her journal.
227	* SoProudOfYou: Though she never met her daughter as she was growing up and only saw her as she was dying, Emma heard about her exploits and remarked about how proud she was of Eliza in her journal.

233	----
234	%%* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: To Iria. For some reason.
235	%%* ButtMonkey: Nothing EVER goes his way. Ever.
236	%%* CigarChomper: 1 Gold for a ten pack of cigars.
237	* ClusterFBomb: Curses a lot. Like seriously.
238	%%* DarkIsNotEvil: He's an Abyssal Sorcerer, thanks to Seth's "origins."
239	* DealWithTheDevil: Had Tathar perform a ritual on him to convert him into a Sorcerer by giving up Seth, his eidolon.
240	* EquivalentExchange: He traded Seth for Sorcerer powers.
241	* FatalAttractor: His relationship with Iria didn't work out, since Iria seemed to be more interested in fighting him to "prove his worth." And let's not get started on Ophelia.
242	* GenderBender: Spent a few sessions as a female gnome. He was not amused.
243	* KissingUnderTheInfluence: Got drunk, but still didn't want to make out with Iria. Then Aerlissa cast "Unnatural Lust" on him.
244	%%* LongHairedPrettyBoy: Elf. This is to be expected.
245	%%* ManIFeelLikeAWoman: One of the first things he did was go bra shopping.
246	* MuggleFosterParents: His actual elven parents are long since dead. He's since been raised more or less by the Mage's guild and an assortment of human parents.
247	* PlayingWithFire: Has loads of fire spells and has a staff with even ''more'' fire spells.
248	%%* SquishyWizard
249	%%* SummonMagic
250	[[/folder]]
251
252	[[folder:Zoq]]
253	----
254	* BlessedWithSuck: Her vision is limited, on top of the fact that she's a Kobold, a race that's dazzled by simple daylight. But she's an Oracle, and thus has considerable magical power.
255	%%* BlindSeer
256	* CatsHateWater: Being on a boat in the middle of the ocean makes her very uncomfortable.
257	* CrazyPrepared: Her haversack has damn near everything in it.
258	* ImprobableWeaponUser: She bashed a pirate with a ''folding chair.''
259	* IncendiaryExponent: Zoq's pretty cool and kooky. She's even better when she's on FIRE.
260	* LetsGetDangerous: If she's using, throwing, or on fire, you can expect that playtime is over and you're going to die a horrible, flame-y, death.
261	* LikeADuckTakesToWater: She adjusted rather quickly to society.
262	* TheLoad: Actually ''was'' this, realized it, and left the party to go with Dryst and Lucia.
263	* OnlyOneName: As usual for Kobolds.
264	* PlayingWithFire: Flame Mystery Oracle, if it wasn't already apparent.
265	* PutOnABus: Left with Dryst and Lucia to do some soul-searching and try and become stronger.
266	%%* ProphetEyes
267	* YouCantGoHomeAgain: She clawed her way out of supposedly miles of earth, dirt, and rock because here transformation into an Oracle heralded her as a bad omen to her people.
